Fred Garcia

Fred’s journey with Ringside Report began back in the TSN 690 radio days in Montreal, where he helped establish the foundation for what would become The Combat Sports Authority. But what truly sets Fred apart isn’t just his years behind the microphone—it’s his time on the mats. As a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at 10th Planet Montreal, Fred doesn’t just talk about ground game theory; he lives it, breathes it, and applies it to his razor-sharp fight analysis.

When Fred breaks down a fight, you’re not getting surface-level commentary. You’re getting insights from someone who understands the subtle nuances of a fighter’s cardio management during a prolonged submission attempt, or why a wrestler’s takedown defense might crumble in the third round. His technical breakdowns are legendary among Ringside Report fans—he can explain complex grappling exchanges in a way that makes sense to both hardcore enthusiasts and casual viewers.

As part of the dynamic trio alongside Dave Simon and AJ D’Alesio, Fred serves as the analytical anchor—the voice of reason who can fact-check a bold prediction or add the technical context that transforms a simple fight recap into a masterclass in mixed martial arts strategy. His fearless predictions and betting insights have become must-listen content for fans who appreciate honest, unfiltered commentary.

Fred’s on-air presence strikes that perfect balance between approachability and authority. He can crack jokes with his co-hosts one moment and deliver a detailed breakdown of championship-level striking the next. Whether he’s providing live commentary during UFC pay-per-view watch-alongs or interviewing top fighters, Fred brings the kind of authentic expertise that can only come from someone who truly understands the sport from the inside out.

From the early days of Montreal sports radio to the global reach of digital media, Fred Garcia has been there for every evolution of combat sports coverage.
